We believe art is for everyday life, as necessary as light and air.

As a relatively new 501(c)3 non-profit, our members nevertheless have decades of practical experience in the fine arts. It has become increasingly important to pass on our knowledge and skills to others. Some of the Earth's greatest landscapes are in the mind and hands of the next generation. The most glorious color combinations are in the heart of someone who says, "I could never do that." You don't know what you can create until you try. We want to encourage you.

I paint for the sole purpose of magnifying the privilege of being alive.
